The β-lactamases are the major defense of gram-negative bacteria against β-lactam antibiotics. β-Lactamases can be broadly divided into enzymes with a serine residue at the active site, similar to ...
Despite the threat posed by antibiotic resistance in infectious bacteria, little is known about the diversity, distribution and origins of resistance genes, particularly among the as yet unculturable ...
Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are a rapidly evolving group of β-lactamases, which hydrolyze most β-lactams including the carbapenems. Of the known MBLs, VIMs are one of the most common families, with 27 ...
Resistance to carbapenems among Enterobacterales is primarily achieved by production of carbapenemases, which are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing carbapenem antibiotics and most other beta-lactams and ...
β-lactamase enzymes inactivate β-lactam antibiotics and render them ineffective for the treatment of clinically-important Gram-negative bacterial infections. Now, two new kits from Streck Inc., ...
